How to update the ownership details for your domain

Applies to: Domain Names

You can update the ownership details for your domain through your LCN account. However, there is a charge if you want to change the registered owner (i.e. name or organisation) for .UK and .EU domain names.

Click the Domains icon and choose the domain you want to update

Click Update Owner Details in the Current Domain menu on the left

Edit the information you want to change and click the Update Domain Owner Details button (see below for restrictions)

Allow up to 24 hours for these changes to update in the public WHOIS database

Change of owner for a .UK domain

To change the registered owner (i.e. name or organisation) of a .UK domain name you will need to complete a transfer form with Nominet, the .UK registry. More information can be found on the Nominet Transfer page.

Change of owner for a .EU domain

EURid, the .EU registry, requires additional authorisation when a domain owner's name or organisation change. You'll need to complete this authorisation process after you have followed the steps above in your LCN Account. For more information on EURid's authorisation process, see the Trades section of EURid's Trades & Transfers page.

Note

It is your responsibility to make sure your domain's ownership details are accurate. If your address changes or you sell your domain, you'll need to make sure you update the owner details.
